Invest in Real Estate or Stocks???

stocks

Regardless of where you place your assets- stocks, bonds, real estate, inside your mattress- you are gambling and there is no way around it. That is why you can find pros and cons for all. That is why I never give financial advice to anyone, friend enemy or reative. Good luck on whatever choice you make.

Invest in real estate.You will get good return. But make sure about the locality were you are investing.

In every sort of investment you have to make sure that you have the exact knowledge about where are you investing your hard earned money.

In case of real estate, It is known to all that now a days every Metropolitan city is growing by fits and starts and those city are adorning themselves with multistoried buildings. A huge number of land which were barren far a long time has been used for industrial purpose. So, know everything about real estate business and then invest your hard earned money carefully. If you are lucky I think you will make profit surely.

Real estate is always a better option.. also you can try buying Gold ETFs.

Investing in real estate gives higher returns than typical investments like stocks. These are the most considerable advantages of making an investment in income producing real estate.
The income stream it produces tends to be extremely stable and predictable.
The income stream is partially passive.
The underlying property will typically appreciate over time.
There are tax benefits to investing in real estate that are not available with most investments.
Rental properties when purchased correctly generate significant cash flow.
As good as the returns in real estate are when investing with cash, they can be compounded significantly by using leverage.

Hello Baken,
You are right; you should choose the stock instead of real estate because you have some knowledge in the stock market. So that is the most useful options. I was also in confusion regarding choosing the right investment options. My solution was solved after attending one live seminar of Dan Pasarelli of Market Taker Mentoring. Then I got my starting point of my trading business.

No investment can guarantee sufficient returns, but the best rule of thumb is to manage your own money.
One of the best investment is in the US economy whether in equities or property. Always invest for the longterm, and don't react to the short term up's and down's - always buy low and sell high. It's not as easy as it sounds, because money matters always has emotion connected to it.
